My Dear Jane is ready for quilting.........
but I am not. I still have to hand quilt my Dresden and there are some other UFOs :-(
A major project kept me almost a year off the sewing machine and it is so great to be back.
I started the DJ in Dezember 2011 and it was quite a journey. So far more than 600 hours went into it and it is rolled up on a pole right now and will have to wait.
I was trying to come up with a different border but nothing else but the scallopes seamed right. Thats when I decided to frame it with the solid aubergine fabric. First I used printed fabric for the plain triangles and felt that they took too much away from the pieced triangles. I like the calming effect of the solid fabrics.
I did not dare to spray baste it and hand basting was done the Sharon Shamber way.
Hope you like it too.

It is awesome on so many levels. First of all, your color arrangement is very attractive. I agree with you about the solids calming the look. The work required on all those small blocks is amazing. Congratulations on finishing it to this point. I know you will be thrilled to get it quilted. It will be a masterpiece!
